Definitions
- the present invention relates to rear projection screens chiefly used for rear-projection-type projectors such as video projectors and slide projectors.
- rear projection screens of this type there have conventionally been known those screens composed of a single lenticular lens sheet comprising as a base material a synthetic resin such as polymethyl methacrylate, and an inorganic material such as glass or aluminum hydroxide, or beads of an organic material such as polymethyl methacrylate or polystyrene, incorporated into the base material, and those screens composed of such a lenticular lens sheet and other lens sheets.
- imaging light is projected on the screens by using a light source such as a CRT.
- single-tube light sources such as LCDs, DMDs and ILAs have recently been used as the light sources for projection. Further, images projected are also becoming very clear and distinct, like those images formed on high-definition televisions or the like.
- the aforementioned conventional rear projection screens have such a problem that, especially when very clear and distinct images are projected on the screens, the displayed images undergo roughening. Specifically, the surfaces of the screens look as if they are covered with a very fine net, so that the images displayed on the screens are seemed to be deteriorated. It is known that this problem becomes more serious when single-tube light sources are used for the formation of the images.
- the conventional rear projection screens cannot so well reproduce the gloss of metals, etc. as direct-view tubes.
- the images displayed on the screens have low contrast; and they are observed to be whitish and to be insufficient in sharpness especially under strong extraneous light.
- a rear projection screen which comprises a flat screen having a light diffusing function.
- the outer surface of cover sheets of the rear projection screen is smooth.
- a rear projection screen comprising a light diffusion panel substrate including a diffusing material and having fine irregularities on its light-ernerging-side surface, and a coating with a low reflective index, provided on its light-emerging-side surface.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a rear projection screen capable of providing an image which is free from roughening, which has gloss reproduced with high fidelity and which is excellent in contrast and sharpness.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a rear projection screen whose surface does not receive fine scratches which will be the cause of the deterioration of an image displayed on the screen.
- the first feature of the present invention is a rear projection screen comprising a lens sheet or flat sheet having such an optical function as light-condensing or light-diffusing function, wherein the entire surface of an imaging-light-transmitting area in the light-emerging-side surface of the lens sheet or flat sheet is made smooth so that a surface roughness of the imaging-light-transmitting area will be from 0 to 0.40 micrometers.
- the surface of the imaging-light-transmitting area be made smooth by coating thereto a transparent material whose hardness is higher than that of a base material of the lens sheet or flat sheet.
- a light-shielding layer be provided on the light-emerging-side surface of the lens sheet or flat sheet, excluding the surface of the imaging-light-transmitting area and that the light-shielding layer be coated with a transparent material.
- the second feature of the present invention is a rear projection screen comprising a plurality of lens sheets or flat sheets having such an optical function as light-condensing or light-diffusing function, wherein the entire surface of an imaging-light-transmitting area in a light-emerging-side surface of at least the outermost sheet on an observation side of the lens sheets or flat sheets is made smooth.
- the surface of the imaging-light-transmitting area in the light-emerging-side surface of the lens sheet or flat sheet is made smooth. Therefore, the screen can provide an image which is free from roughening, which has gloss reproduced with high fidelity and which is excellent in contrast and sharpness. Further, the surface of the imaging- light-transmitting area is made smooth by coating thereto a transparent material whose hardness is higher than that of the base material of the lens sheet or flat sheet. Therefore, the image displayed on the screen is free from deterioration which is brought about by fine scratches formed on the screen.
- FIG. 1A is an illustration showing a first embodiment of the rear projection screen according to the present invention.
- a rear projection screen 10 comprises a lenticular lens sheet 11 in which lenticular lenses 11a are provided on the light source side thereof and in which a diffusing material 13 is dispersed, and a transparent smooth layer 12 provided on the lenticular lens sheet 11 on the observation side thereof.
- a conventional rear projection screen 10-1 employs a lenticular lens sheet 11 in which lenticular lenses 11a are provided on the light source side and in which a diffusing material 13 is dispersed.
- the black dot formed on the screen becomes as large as the picture element.
- the black dot becomes larger than the picture element, such a state is caused that one picture element is completely missing, and the black dot is thus often recognized as a defect.
- the transparent smooth layer 12 is provided on the lenticular lens sheet 11 on the observation side thereof to smooth the light- emerging-side surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11, thereby solving the above-described problems such as the roughening of image.
- the light-emerging surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11 is poor in smoothness because those fine irregularities formed when the lenticular lens sheet is made by molding are remaining, and, in addition, the diffusing material 13 is existing very near the light-emerging surface. Therefore, scattering reflection and mirror reflection are caused at almost the same position in the vicinity of the light-emerging surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11.
- scattering reflection is caused in the vicinity of the light-emerging surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11, while mirror reflection is caused on the light-emerging surface of the transparent smooth layer 12. Namely, scattering reflection and mirror reflection are caused at different positions, so that the mirror-reflected components become striking. The image can thus acquire gloss and clearness.
- the transparent smooth layer 12 be formed by coating a transparent resin (transparent material) onto the light-emerging surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11.
- the light-emerging surface of a screen sheet such as a lens sheet can be made into a mirror surface by a molding method capable of attaining high transferability, such as an injection, press, or cast molding method, using a metal mold having no irregularities on an area corresponding to the light-emerging surface.
- a molding method capable of attaining high transferability if fine roughness is present on the surface of the metal mold, this roughness is fully reproduced on the surface of the resulting molded product. It is therefore necessary to make the metal mold with scrupulous care so that it will not have fine roughness.
- an extrusion molding method can be mentioned in addition to the above-described molding methods.
- high productivity can be attained by this molding method, the transferability attained by a metal mold used is low, and the light-emerging surface tends to be considerably roughened.
- the transparent smooth layer 12 is provided by coating a transparent resin onto the light-emerging surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11. Therefore, the light-emerging-side surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11 can easily be made smooth.
- the transparent smooth layer 12 is entirely provided on the light-emerging surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11. Therefore, as compared with a case where a smooth layer is provided only on the light-emerging area (imaging-light-transmitting area), the image displayed on the screen can be prevented well from being roughened, and from becoming whitish which is caused by the irregular reflection of extraneous light. Further, since mirror reflection is made striking by the transparent smooth layer 12 with which the light-emerging surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11 is entirely covered, an image having improved gloss can be obtained.
- the transparent smooth layer 12 be formed by using a transparent material (low-refractive-index material) having a refractive index lower than that of the base material of the lenticular lens sheet 11.
- a transparent material low-refractive-index material having a refractive index lower than that of the base material of the lenticular lens sheet 11.
- n the refractive index of the low-refractive-index material
- d the thickness
- ⁇ the theoretical design wavelength
- the light-emerging surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11 it is preferable to smooth the light-emerging surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11 by coating thereto a transparent resin whose hardness is higher than that of the base material of the lenticular lens sheet 11.
- the light-emerging surface can acquire high surface hardness. Therefore, even if the light-emerging surface comes into contact with foreign matter, it is not scratched, and the roughening of the surface which will newly raise the problem of roughening of image, and the like is not caused.
- the light-emerging-side surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11 is made smooth by providing thereon the transparent smooth layer 12 by using a transparent resin.
- the light-emerging surface of the lenticular lens sheet 11 may also be made smooth, instead of by coating a transparent resin, by producing the lenticular lens sheet 11 by a molding method capable of attaining high transferability, such as an injection, press or cast molding method.
- the rear projection screen 10 comprising the lenticular lens sheet 11 which is composed of a single sheet.
- the explanation can also be applied to a rear projection screen comprising a plurality of lens sheets or flat sheets having such an optical function as light-condensing or light-diffusing function.
- Figs. 2A to 2D are illustrations showing a second embodiment of the rear projection screen according to the present invention.
- a rear projection screen 20 comprises a lenticular lens sheet 21 in which lenticular lenses 21a are provided on the light source side, a transparent smooth layer 22 entirely provided on the observation-side surface of the lenticular lens sheet 21, and a light-shielding layer (black stripes) 24 provided on the non-light-emerging parts of the lenticular lenses 21a (the top of the protrusions).
- the light-shielding layer 24 is provided on a part of the light-emerging-side surface of the lenticular lens sheet 21.
- This embodiment can therefore drastically improve the contrast as compared with the aforementioned first embodiment. Further, since the light-emerging area (imaging-light-transmitting area) on the lenticular lens sheet 21 is made smooth by the transparent smooth layer 22, the roughening of image can be prevented well as in the aforementioned first embodiment.
- Figs. 2B, 2C and 2D are illustrations showing variations of the rear projection screen 20 shown in Fig. 2A.
- a light-shielding layer 24 is provided on the non-light-emerging parts, and a transparent smooth layer 22A is provided only on the lenticular lens surfaces on the light-emerging side, which are the main light-emerging parts of the lenticular lenses 21a.
- a light-shielding layer 24 is provided on the non-light- emerging parts, and a transparent smooth layer 24 is provided on the light-emerging parts.
- a light-shielding layer 24 is provided on the non-light-emerging parts of lenticular lenses 21a; and, after the light-shielding layer 24 is provided, a transparent smooth layer 22A is entirely provided on the observation-side surface so as to also cover the light-shielding layer 24.
- the light-emerging-side lenticular lens surfaces, main light-emerging parts are made smooth. Therefore, not only the roughening of image but also scattering reflection at the light-emerging parts can be prevented.
- the rear projection screens shown in Figs. 2A, 2C and 2D are different from the rear projection screen shown in Fig. 2B in that even those parts other than the light-emerging- side lenticular lens surfaces, main light-emerging parts, are made smooth. Intrinsically, imaging light does not emerge from these parts. However, it actually emerges from the parts very slightly due to the diffusing material contained in the lenticular lens sheet. The light emerged from these parts make a large exit angle with a normal line, so that no effect seems to be brought about when the image is viewed from the front. However, when the image is observed obliquely, it can be recognized that the roughening of image is effectively prevented.
- the structure as shown in Fig. 2C can be obtained by forming the transparent smooth layer 22 with masking the non-light-emerging parts (the top of the protrusions), releasing the masking film, and providing the light-shielding layer 24 on the parts from which the masking film has been released.
- the screen shown in Fig. 2D is different from those shown in Figs. 2A to 2C in that the transparent smooth layer 22A is provided also on the light-shielding layer 24. Although most of imaging light is absorbed by the light-shielding layer 24, a little imaging light is reflected. This reflected light makes the displayed image whitish.
- the transparent smooth layer 22A on the light-shielding layer 24, it is possible to prevent scattering reflection which is caused due to the surface roughness of the light-shielding layer 24. Therefore, the image can further be prevented from becoming whitish.
- Fig. 3 is an illustration showing a third embodiment of the rear projection screen according to the present invention.
- a rear projection screen 300 is a combination of a Fresnel lens sheet 310, a lenticular lens sheet 320, and a flat sheet 330.
- a Fresnel lens 311a is provided on the light-emerging-side surface thereof, and a transparent smooth layer 312 is formed on the light-emerging area (imaging-light-transmitting area) on the Fresnel lens 311a.
- the lenticular lens sheet 320 has lenticular lenses 321a provided on the light source side thereof.
- a light-shielding layer 324 is provided on the non-light-emerging parts (the top of the protrusions) of the lenticular lenses 321a, and a transparent smooth layer 322 is formed on the light-emerging parts of the lenticular lens sheet 321 on the observation side thereof and on the light-shielding layer 324.
- the flat sheet 330 contains a plane flat sheet 331 whose light-emerging-side surface is covered with a transparent smooth layer 332.
- the roughening of image, and the like are most strongly affected by total reflection caused by fine irregularities on the outermost lens sheet or flat sheet the observation side of the rear projection screen.
- black dots are produced by total reflection. These black dots become unclear because light scatters when it passes through a lens sheet or the like positioned on the light-emerging side as compared with the outermost lens sheet or the like on the observation side. However, they never disappear completely. The remaining black dots are observed on the screen as the roughness of the image.
- the transparent smooth layers 312, 322 and 332 are provided on all of the light-emerging surfaces of the lens sheets 310 and 320 and the flat sheet 330 which constitute the rear projection screen 300. It is therefore possible to prevent the appearance of black dots not only on the flat sheet 330 which is the outermost sheet on the observation side, but also on the lens sheets 310 and 320. The roughening of the finally observed image can thus be prevented more effectively.
- Examples 3 to 7 correspond to the above-described first embodiment, and are concerned with rear projection screens comprising two lens sheets, that is, a Fresnel lens sheet and a lenticular lens sheet, where the Fresnel lens sheet is positioned on the light source side, and the lenticular lens sheet is positioned on the observation side.
- Example 1 is concerned with a rear projection screen of the above-described first embodiment, in which both of the lens sheets on the light source side and on the observation side are made smooth without providing thereon coatings.

- Example 3 is concerned with a rear projection screen of the above-described first embodiment, in which only the lens sheet on the observation side is made smooth by means of coating.
- a lenticular lens sheet (lens pitch 0.75 mm) having a thickness of 1 mm, produced by means of extrusion molding.
